aaa accounting vrrs
To enable authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) accounting of requested services for billing or security purposes when you use the Virtual Router Redundancy Service (VRRS), use the aaa accounting vrrs command in global configuration mode. To disable AAA accounting for VRRS, use the no form of this command.
Syntax Description
|
default |
Uses the listed accounting methods that follow this keyword as the default list of methods for accounting services. |
|
list-name |
Character string used to name the list of accounting methods. If no list name is specified, the system uses the default value. |
|
start-stop |
Sends an accounting-on notice. The accounting-on record is sent in the background. The requested user process begins regardless of whether the accounting-on notice is received by the accounting server. |
|
method1 [method2...] |
(Optional) Character string used to name at least one of the accounting methods, tried in the specified sequence. |
Usage Guidelines
Use the aaa accounting vrrs command to define a AAA accounting method list. If you define the AAA default accounting method list, you are defining the AAA accounting method list for all the VRRS servers. The default AAA accounting method list is applied to all VRRS groups. To specify a group-specific VRRS method list, use the accounting method command in VRRS configuration mode.
Examples
The following example shows how to configure VRRP group 1 with the group name "vrrp-name-1" to use VRRS method list vrrs-mlist-1:
Router(config)# aaa accounting vrrs vrrp-mlist-1 start-stop group radius ! Router(config-if)# vrrs vrrp-name-1 Router(config)# accounting mlist vrrs-mlist-1 ! Router(config)# interface gigabitethernet0/2/2 Router(config-if)# ip address 10.0.1. Router(config-if)# vrrp 1 ip 10.1.0.10 Router(config-if)# vrrp 1 name vrrp-name-1
accounting delay (VRRS)
To specify a delay time for sending accounting-off messages for the Virtual Router Redundancy Service (VRRS), use the accounting delay command in VRRS configuration mode. To return to the default accounting delay value, use the no form of this command.
Syntax Description
|
seconds |
Time, in seconds, to wait before sending accounting-off messages. Range is from 1 to 30. The default is 0. |

Usage Guidelines
Use the accounting delay command to control the timing of sending accounting-off messages for VRRS. This command does not apply to accounting-on messages. If the default is specified, this command is not saved to the running configuration and accounting-off messages are sent immediately when the event occurs. Otherwise, a delay of the configured number of seconds is applied.
Examples
The following example shows how to specify a delay time of 10 seconds for sending accounting-off messages for the VRRS:
Router(config)# vrrs vrrp-name-1 Router(config-vrrs)# accounting delay 10

|
15.1(1)S |
This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 15.1(1)S. |
Usage Guidelines
Configuring the default keyword does not save it to the running configuration and the VRRS accounting type default method list is automatically applied to the VRRS group being configured. The default keyword also enables VRRS accounting for all VRRP groups.
The valued specified for the accounting-method-list argument must match a named list configured by the aaa accounting vrrscommand. When there is no match, a warning message is displayed. However, the configuration is still saved.
With this approach, you can configure the desired accounting method list using the aaa accounting vrrscommand without configuring the accounting methodcommand again.
Examples
The following example shows how to configure VRRS to use the accounting list named METHOD1:
Router(config)# vrrs VRRS1 Router(config-vrrs)# accounting method METHOD1

attribute list (VRRS)
To specify additional attributes to include in Virtual Router Redundancy Service (VRRS) accounting-on and accounting-off messages, use the attribute list command in VRRS configuration mode. To configure VRRS to send only default attributes in VRRS accounting messages, use the no form of this command.
Usage Guidelines
Use the attribute list (VRRS) command to specify additional attributes to be included in both VRRS accounting-on and accounting-off messages. Before configuring this command, define a list name using the aaa attribute list global configuration command. If you the enter a list name that is not defined in the aaa attribute list global configuration command, a warning message is displayed. However, this command is still accepted.
The following RADIUS attributes are included in VRRS accounting messages by default:
Examples
The following example configures VRRS to use the AAA accounting list named vrrp-1-attr:
Router(config)# aaa accounting vrrs default start-stop group radius Router(config)# aaa attribute list vrrp-1-attr Router(config-attr-list)# attribute type account-delay "10" Router(config-attr-list)# exit Router(config)# vrrs vrrp-name-1 Router(config-vrrs)# accounting delay 10 Router(config-vrrs)# attribute list vrrp-1-attr

Usage Guidelines
The same authentication method must be configured on all the routers that are configured to be members of the same GLBP group, to ensure interoperation. A router will ignore all GLBP messages that contain the wrong authentication information.
If password encryption is configured with the service password-encryption command, the software saves the key string in the configuration as encrypted text.
Examples
The following example configures stringxyz as the authentication string required to allow GLBP routers in group 10 to interoperate:
Router(config)# interface fastethernet 0/0 Router(config-if)# glbp 10 authentication text stringxyz
In the following example, GLBP queries the key chain "AuthenticateGLBP" to obtain the current live key and key ID for the specified key chain:
Router(config)# key chain AuthenticateGLBP Router(config-keychain)# key 1 Router(config-keychain-key)# key-string ThisIsASecretKey Router(config-keychain-key)# key-string ThisIsASecretKey Router(config-keychain-key)# exit Router(config-keychain)# exit Router(config)# interface Ethernet0/1 Router(config-if)# ip address 10.0.0.1 255.255.255.0 Router(config-if)# glbp 2 authentication md5 key-chain AuthenticateGLBP

Usage Guidelines
This command enables a GLBP client cache on a single group only. To enable the client cache on multiple GLBP groups, you must apply this command to each group for which a client cache is required.
You must specify a maximum number of clients that the client cache will hold for a GLBP group to limit the size of the cache. If a GLBP client cache already exists when this command is entered and there are already more clients in the cache than the required number, all of the existing cache entries are discarded.
If you enter the no form of this command when there are already client entries in the cache, all of the client entries are discarded before the GLBP client cache is disabled.
 Note | For IPv4 networks, Cisco recommends setting a GLBP client cache timeout value that is slightly longer than the maximum expected end-host Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) cache timeout value. |

Usage Guidelines
The glbp ip command activates GLBP on the configured interface. If an IP address is specified, that address is used as the designated virtual IP address for the GLBP group. If no IP address is specified, the designated address is learned from another router configured to be in the same GLBP group. For GLBP to elect an active virtual gateway (AVG), at least one router on the cable must have been configured with the designated address. A router must be configured with, or have learned, the virtual IP address of the GLBP group before assuming the role of a GLBP gateway or forwarder. Configuring the designated address on the AVG always overrides a designated address that is in use.
When the glbp ip command is enabled on an interface, the handling of proxy Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) requests is changed (unless proxy ARP was disabled). ARP requests are sent by hosts to map an IP address to a MAC address. The GLBP gateway intercepts the ARP requests and replies to the ARP on behalf of the connected nodes. If a forwarder in the GLBP group is active, proxy ARP requests are answered using the MAC address of the first active forwarder in the group. If no forwarder is active, proxy ARP responses are suppressed.
Examples
The following example activates GLBP for group 10 on Fast Ethernet interface 0/0. The virtual IP address to be used by the GLBP group is set to 10.21.8.10.
Router(config)# interface fastethernet 0/0 Router(config-if)# ip address 10.21.8.32 255.255.255.0 Router(config-if)# glbp 10 ip 10.21.8.10
The following example activates GLBP for group 10 on Fast Ethernet interface 0/0. The virtual IP address used by the GLBP group will be learned from another router configured to be in the same GLBP group.
Router(config)# interface fastethernet 0/0 Router(config-if)# glbp 10 ip
glbp ipv6
To activate the Gateway Load Balancing Protocol (GLBP) in IPv6, use the glbp ipv6command in interface configuration mode. To disable GLBP, use the noform of this command.
Usage Guidelines
The glbp ipv6 command activates GLBP on the configured interface. If an IPv6 address is specified, that address is used as the designated virtual IPv6 address for the GLBP group. If no IPv6 address is specified, the designated address is learned from another router configured to be in the same GLBP group. For GLBP to elect an active virtual gateway (AVG), at least one router on the cable must have been configured with the designated address. A router must be configured with, or have learned, the virtual IPv6 address of the GLBP group before assuming the role of a GLBP gateway or forwarder. Configuring the designated address on the AVG always overrides a designated address that is in use.
When the glbp ipv6 command is enabled on an interface, the handling of proxy Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) requests is changed (unless proxy ARP was disabled). ARP requests are sent by hosts to map an IPv6 address to a MAC address. The GLBP gateway intercepts the ARP requests and replies to the ARP on behalf of the connected nodes. If a forwarder in the GLBP group is active, proxy ARP requests are answered using the MAC address of the first active forwarder in the group. If no forwarder is active, proxy ARP responses are suppressed.
glbp load-balancing
To specify the load-balancing method used by the active virtual gateway (AVG) of the Gateway Load Balancing Protocol (GLBP), use the glbp load-balancing command in interface configuration mode. To disable load balancing, use the no form of this command.
Syntax Description
|
group |
GLBP group number in the range from 0 to 1023. |
|
host-dependent |
(Optional) Specifies a load balancing method based on the MAC address of a host where the same forwarder is always used for a particular host while the number of GLBP group members remains unchanged. |
|
round-robin |
(Optional) Specifies a load balancing method where each virtual forwarder in turn is included in address resolution replies for the virtual IP address. This method is the default. |
|

Usage Guidelines
Routers on which timer values are not configured can learn timer values from the active virtual gateway (AVG). The timers configured on the AVG always override any other timer settings. All routers in a GLBP group should use the same timer values. If a GLBP gateway sends a hello message, the information should be considered valid for one holdtime. Normally, holdtime is greater than three times the value of hello time, (holdtime > 3 * hellotime). The range of values for holdtime force the holdtime to be greater than the hello time.
Examples
The following example shows the GLBP group 10 on Fast Ethernet interface 0/0 timers being configured for an interval of 5 seconds between hello packets, and the time after which virtual gateway and virtual forwarder information is considered to be invalid to 18 seconds:
Router(config)# interface fastethernet 0/0 Router(config-if)# glbp 10 ip Router(config-if)# glbp 10 timers 5 18
glbp timers redirect
To configure the time during which the active virtual gateway (AVG) for a Gateway Load Balancing Protocol (GLBP) group continues to redirect clients to a secondary active virtual forwarder (AVF), use the glbp timers redirect command in interface configuration mode. To restore the redirect timers to their default values, use the no form of this command.

Usage Guidelines
A virtual forwarder that is assigned a virtual MAC address by the AVG is known as a primary virtual forwarder. If the virtual forwarder has learned the virtual MAC address from hello messages, it is referred to as a secondary virtual forwarder.
The redirect timer sets the time delay between a forwarder failing on the network and the AVG assuming that the forwarder will not return. The virtual MAC address to which the forwarder was responsible for replying is still given out in Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) replies, but the forwarding task is handled by another router in the GLBP group.
Note | The zero value for the redirect argument cannot be removed from the range of acceptable values because preexisting configurations of Cisco IOS software already using the zero value could be negatively affected during an upgrade. However, be advised that a zero setting is not recommended and, if used, results in a redirect timer that never expires. If the redirect timer does not expire, then when a router fails, new hosts continue to be assigned to the failed router instead of being redirected to the backup. |
The timeout interval is the time delay between a forwarder failing on the network and the MAC address for which the forwarder was responsible becoming inactive on all of the routers in the GLBP group. After the timeout interval, packets sent to this virtual MAC address will be lost. The timeout interval must be long enough to allow all hosts to refresh their ARP cache entry that contained the virtual MAC address.
Examples
The following example shows the commands used to configure GLBP group 1 on Fast Ethernet interface 0/0 with a redirect timer of 1800 seconds (30 minutes) and timeout interval of 28,800 seconds (8 hours):
Router# config terminal Router(config)# interface fastEthernet 0/0 Router(config-if)# glbp 1 timers redirect 1800 28800

Usage Guidelines
The weighting value of a virtual gateway is a measure of the forwarding capacity of the gateway. If a tracked interface on the router fails, the weighting value of the router may fall from the maximum value to below the lower threshold, causing the router to give up its role as a virtual forwarder. When the weighting value of the router rises above the upper threshold, the router can resume its active virtual forwarder role.
Use the glbp weighting track and track commands to configure parameters for an interface to be tracked. If an interface on a router goes down, the weighting for the router can be reduced by a specified value.
Examples
The following example shows the weighting of the gateway for GLBP group 10 being set to a maximum of 110 with a lower weighting limit of 95 and an upper weighting limit of 105:
Router(config)# interface fastethernet 0/0 Router(config-if)# ip address 10.21.8.32 255.255.255.0 Router(config-if)# glbp 10 weighting 110 lower 95 upper 105

Usage Guidelines
This command ties the weighting of the GLBP gateway to the availability of its interfaces. It is useful for tracking interfaces that are not configured for GLBP.
When a tracked interface goes down, the GLBP gateway weighting decreases by 10. If an interface is not tracked, its state changes do not affect the GLBP gateway weighting. For each GLBP group, you can configure a separate list of interfaces to be tracked.
The optional value argument specifies by how much to decrement the GLBP gateway weighting when a tracked interface goes down. When the tracked interface comes back up, the weighting is incremented by the same amount.
When multiple tracked interfaces are down, the configured weighting decrements are cumulative.
Use the track command to configure each interface to be tracked.
As of Cisco IOS Release 15.1(3)T, 15.1(1)S and 12.2(50)SY, a maximum of 1000 objects can be tracked. Although 1000 tracked objects can be configured, each tracked object uses CPU resources. The amount of available CPU resources on a router is dependent upon variables such as traffic load and how other protocols are configured and run. The ability to use 1000 tracked objects is dependent upon the available CPU. Testing should be conducted on site to ensure that the service works under the specific site traffic conditions.
Examples
In the following example, Fast Ethernet interface 0/0 tracks two interfaces represented by the numbers 1 and 2. If interface 1 goes down, the GLBP gateway weighting decreases by the default value of 10. If interface 2 goes down, the GLBP gateway weighting decreases by 5.
Router(config)# interface fastethernet 0/0 Router(config-if)# ip address 10.21.8.32 255.255.255.0 Router(config-if)# glbp 10 weighting track 1 Router(config-if)# glbp 10 weighting track 2 decrement 5

Syntax Description
|
multicast |
(Optional) Use the multicast address (224.0.0.1) instead of IP broadcasts. |
|
holdtime seconds |
(Optional) Length of time in seconds that advertisements are held valid. Default is three times the maxadvertinterval value. Must be greater than maxadvertinterval and cannot be greater than 9000 seconds. |
|
maxadvertinterval seconds |
(Optional) Maximum interval in seconds between advertisements. The range is from 1 to 1800. A value of 0 means only advertise when solicited. The default is 600 seconds. |
|

This command is supported in the Cisco IOS Release 12.2SX train. Support in a specific 12.2SX release of this train depends on your feature set, platform, and platform hardware. |
Usage Guidelines
If you change the maxadvertinterval value, the other two values also change, so it is important to change the maxadvertinterval value before changing either the holdtime or minadvertinterval values.
The ip irdp multicast command allows for compatibility with Sun Microsystems Solaris, which requires IRDP packets to be sent out as multicasts. Many implementations cannot receive these multicasts; ensure end-host ability before using this command.
Examples
The following example sets the various IRDP processes:
Router(config)# interface ethernet 0 !Enable irdp on interface Ethernet 0. Router(config-if)# ip irdp Router(config-if)# ip irdp multicast !Send IRDP advertisements to the multicast address. Router(config-if)# ip irdp preference 900 !Increase router preference from 0 to 900. Router(config-if)# ip irdp maxadvertinterval 400 !Set maximum time between advertisements to 400 secs. Router(config-if)# ip irdp minadvertinterval 100 !Set minimum time between advertisements to 100 secs. Router(config-if)# ip irdp holdtime 6000 !Advertisements are good for 6000 seconds. Router(config-if)# ip irdp address 10.108.14.5 !Proxy-advertise 10.108.14.5 with default router preference. Router(config-if)# ip irdp address 10.108.14.6 50 !Proxy-advertise 10.108.14.6 with preference of 50.
